4. Record-Breaking El Niño Could Bring California a Winter of Floods, Extreme Weather (americancommunitymedia.org subscription) — Closures along parts of Pacific Coast Highway near Malibu are already being driven by worsening coastal erosion, and experts warn this winter's record-strength El Niño could bring more flooding and damage to Southern California.
